Achillea

An original wild perennial with a large distribution area from Europe to Siberia. Suitable for natural and wild plantings. It grows in meadows and dry grassy places. A very adaptable and undemanding plant, it grows in clumps and spreads via runners. Cutting back after the first flowering promotes the set of new flowers. We harvest for bouquets when the florets are fully open. Lasts 10 days in a vase. Cerise Queen has deep pink to purple-pink flowers that gradually fade to light pink.

A lesser-known species of Yarrow with dark green, glossy, serrated leaves that remain attractive throughout the growing season, and sweet pink flowers that are larger than those of the common Yarrow. Lasts 10 days in a vase.
